I have installed Linuxmint onto 14 mate x64 onto my laptop. I have run linuxmint since version 12 on my desktop, so i am not a new user but also not quite an advanced user yet. In the past i had a shortcut in control center "Additional drivers" that allowed me to update my ATI driver, However this shortcut button is not showing now.

Additional driversTo install additional drivers, please run the "Software Sources" tool from "Menu->Preferences->Software Sources" and click on the "Additional Drivers" tab. The tool used in previous versions of Linux Mint (Jockey) was discontinued upstream in Ubuntu.

Damn, wish i had seen your post earlier before i started messing around on my own

I installed the drivers from AMD site on my own and it seemed to work and asked me to reboot my PC, however now it says it cannot boot into graphical xorg interface and then boots to a black screen with a login. Any idea what i should do now to fix this ?

[EDIT]

I used the command : sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* to remove the driver and get back into linux gui.
